I currently work as an IT associate and have developed an interest in switching to a DevOps role. I already have some fundamental knowledge of cloud computing, particularly with Azure and AWS, and I've earned my AZ-900 certification. I'd love to hear some advice or experiences from anyone who has made a similar transition. Is it feasible for me to switch roles, and what steps should I take next?

Absolutely, you can make the jump into DevOps! Since you have a foundation in cloud basics and your AZ-900, I recommend getting practical experience by working on real projects. Try setting up small labs on platforms like DigitalOcean, and experiment with automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible. Additionally, practicing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or GitLab will be really beneficial.
Also, check out resources like roadmap.sh/devops and devops-daily.com/roadmap to help guide your learning journey.
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’ll definitely look into those resources.
